Kelly: Hey, GabeGabe: hey kellyKelly: Are you having a good day?Gabe: it’s OK, to be honestGabe: like, I’ve had better days in my lifeGabe: but I don’t want to worry you with all that, KellyKelly: Well, ok. If you ever need to talk about anything, though — any time you’re not having the best day of your life. I’m here.Kelly: I am currently having the best day of my life.Gabe: oh goodKelly: But speaking of people who are notGabe: uh huhGabe: this is all very organicGabe: this line of conversationKelly: I’m taking conversation classes at UCBGabe: d) it was writtenKelly: Robert DeNiro said a joke at an Obama campaign event he was hosting with Michelle Obama and Newt Gingrich is NOT happy about it.Gabe: oh no! is newt gingrich ok?!Kelly: YOU TELL ME AFTER YOU HEAR THIS JOKEGabe: OK

Kelly: “Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white First Lady?”Gabe: LOLOLOLOLKelly: Please. And you ask “Is Newt Gingrich ok.”Kelly: OF COURSE HE IS NOT OKGabe: that’s actually a pretty decent joke considering who told it and whereGabe: good work, Bruce Villanch I’m AssumingKelly: hahahKelly: As always, good work Bruce Villanch.Kelly: Certainly not the worst joke I’ve ever heard, but now Newt Gingrich is demanding an apologyKelly:from OBAMA?Kelly: About the jokeGabe: coolGabe: did he do it?Gabe: did obama apologize to newt gingrich for robert deniro’s joke?Kelly: Obama called him immediately and apologized and also apologized for New Year’s EveGabe: the movie?Kelly: YeahGabe: but will Obama’s apology for New Year’s Eve be enough to win him re-election?Kelly: Well we’ll see if he EVER apologizes for Little FockersGabe: what was newt gingrich even mad about?Gabe: “with comments like these, we’ll never get a moon base”Kelly: Hahah I don’t even know why he is mad, really. I just tried to look at the quote again because I thought maybe he did have a point but I forgotKelly: But basically his point isKelly: That the country IS ready for a new first lady?Gabe: hahahhaaGabe: oh, that’s a good pointKelly: Very good point and I am now more offended by the comment than I even was beforeKelly: But yeah he said, “I think the country is ready for a new first lady and he doesn’t have to describe it in racial terms.”Kelly: Soooooooo

Gabe: robert deniro’s joke was just really insensitiveGabe: because if there’s one thing white people have never gottenGabe: it’s a decent shakeGabe: so why tease them?Kelly: Right. Political life is hard enough for white people without famous actors ridiculing their hardships.Gabe: it’s still very confusingGabe: like, what….just what?Gabe: i mean, what does he think this joke that no one even heard because we weren’t thereGabe: what does he think it does to anything?Gabe: has this changed the election?Gabe: also, it is some pretty racist shit to claim reverse racismKelly: Yes, that is never not racist shitKelly: But yeah, it’s all very confusing. I can’t really figure out what Newt Gingrich’s point is, but it seems likeKelly: Ever since Obama called Sandra Fluke on the phoneKelly: Every time something happensKelly: Someone is likeKelly: “Well why doesn’t Obama call ME on the phone”Kelly: As if that is a very good campaign strategyKelly: And maybe on election day we’ll all find out that asking Obama to call people on the phone and apologize for various jokes about republicans really did win the election for somebodyKelly: But, Gabe, I have to tell youKelly: That I’m not so sureGabe: i definitely feel like Obama should just apologizeGabe: because he’s black and we’re whiteGabe: so, i feel like somehow, i mean, it’s his faultGabe: something is his faultKelly: I think you’re probably right on that oneGabe: Obama 2012: I’m So SorryGabe: i would like for Newt Gingrich to publicly sayGabe: that if Barack Obama apologizesGabe: he will vote for him

Kelly: hahahaKelly: If that were the caseKelly: Would you in turn vote for Newt Gingrich?Gabe: noGabe: he sucksKelly: Oh rightKelly: Well when Newt eventually gets to this convo in his google readerKelly: I’ll be interested to hear his decision on your planGabe: i will also be interested to hear his decision on my planGabe: to not vote for himGabe: it’s trickyGabe: politicsKelly: SureKelly: Almost as tricky as comedyKelly: But each are about knowing your audienceKelly: And luckily for Newt GingrichKelly: his audience is crazy whitesGabe: And scene.

i think the country is ready for a new first lady, too. Mr. President, divorce and quickly remarry. Hey, maybe get something started on the side before you break the news to Michelle. Newt’s totally ok with it.

Speaking of New Year’s Eve the movie… has anyone dared to watch that holy disaster? They were showing it on a plane when I was traveling recently. It was preceded by a recent episode of The Office that I had not seen, which caused my to literally laugh out loud (lol) several times. Then that abominable trainwreck of a movie started, and after about 4 minutes I actually threw down my headphones in disgust. They lady sitting next to me thought I was insane. But the jokes/acting/everything in that freaking movie were unbearable, and somehow exactly the opposite of The Office. They managed to actually be the exact polar opposite of funny.

I then preceded to watch Birdemic: Shock and Terror on my laptop instead. At one point I took a break and the lady next to me said: “that looks like the worst movie ever made”. And was all: “you obviously haven’t been watching New Year’s Eve”. Then I said: “BOOM!” and high-fived myself.

This seriously got me so mad I was sputtering last night. Newt Fucking Gingrich demanding an apology- from Obama!- for a joke from Robert DeNiro for dividing the country.

Newt Motherfucking “Obama Is The Food Stamps President” “Obama Is Motivated By Kenyan Anticolonialism” “Latinos and Blacks Don’t Understand Entrepreneurship” “I Would Tell the NAACP To Demand Paychecks and Not Be Satisfied With Food Stamps” Gingrich.

Fuck that guy. I want a call from him to apologize for raising my blood pressure.

a lot of this type of thing is hard for me to read due to the utter lameness of trying to live vicariously through politicians like its some kind of spectator sport. its hard to pay attention to The Politics.

if you could go back in time to the 90s would you spend more time paying attention to all the details of ross perot, bill clinton and bob dole, etc, just sitting around watching the news and reading the print news “zines” and print newsletters you’d get in the mail (this is before the internet) or would you spend more time savoring some quality time with a bunch of hot babes you knew back when and listen to music and stuff?

My neighbor just met a bisexual man on —d a t e b i*c O Mit’s where for men and women looking

It’s a nice place for the people who have the same sexual orientation.
